You’d think here in the “sunny” South, temperatures would be such that we could be working/playing outdoors all day. Not this year!! Temperatures here in Florida are supposedly going to drop to around 20 degrees tonight. Now, being from Nebraska originally, I understand you all are saying – “what’s your problem? That’s warm compared to our ‘below zero’ temperatures”. Any way you look at it, most of the country is now in a “deep freeze” as the weather people like to say.

So, what to do with these long, cold, winter days? As you probably know, I have a set of 8 year old quadruplet grandchildren (along with their big 9 year old brother), and if any of you have children that age, you know their rooms sometimes (most of the time?) need a major cleaning. I’ve checked out several things at Patterns2Go for items to make to try to help them get their rooms organized.

Under the Crafts category I found a laundry bag pocket. I’m HOPING this will help get the dirty clothes in one spot and not left in the spot where they took the garment off.

And, I’m thinking a Snake Wall Pocket might just help keep some of the smaller things (note pads, pencils, crayons, etc) off the floor.

These, and many more items from Patterns2Go take only small pieces or scraps of fabric, so I’m sure I’ll be able to fill these cold days with some sewing projects.
